“I want to deeply thank every single person who voted for me,” Leveque says in a LinkedIn post. “I will do my best to follow the footsteps of my predecessor Sergio Barbarino, and will keep fighting for ideas to become investments, for pilots to be scaled and deployed, and for strategy to come to execution.”
